It was the Sennheiser HD497's, but I returned those and got the Sony MDR-V6's that I really wanted. Six months later I got my Beyers. I have also purchased the Sennheiser MX500 earbuds and Sennheiser PMX60 "streetstyle" headphones (burn-in is taming the highs and bringing out the bass in these things) since being here.

Before I came here I was using RadioShack Pro-35's.

Day before coming to head-fi, I bought some Sennheiser HD280's.

About a year after I was here, I finally purchased some Grado SR-60's....sold them a month later......bought HD600's same day I sold Grado's.

= happy....for now

Would like to have some

Bought some HD600's a couple months after I started lurking - had just barely started to post. What a money-hungry first purchase, eh?

D66 woot woot!

 

[Kelvie1234]

KSC-35s... back then they were 20 bucks and quite popular around here...

Got them the day I joined head-fi... (ironically, my birthday).

I can't remember to be honest

It was either the Sennheiser HD580 or the Grado SR125... both were at a similar time...

i got a dt880 a month or so after coming here.

before that the bleeding edge of music to me was through a mx500.

I remember why I wanted to get headphones, I enrolled in a part time course for music producing, and it turns out that I needed headphones. So, naturally it came down to a few choices. But after the coursed ended, I found my self enjoying the sound of headphones thus the forum. I go with D66 for many reasons, beating Grado R60's which I have cast my eyes on and even booked a one from a local store.

I had the HD600/cardas and headroom MOHR/stepps when I came hear and then shortly after I bought Screwdrivers DT-770's and an ASL OTL32 amp.

 

[Nisbeth]

I had HD590's before coming here (still do actually). Bought a pair of AKG K501's about a year ago, so Head-Fi hasn't been all that expensive for me - yet!

/U.

 

[JMedeiros]

Koss Porta Pros...and I still have em!

[bioxeed]

DT770pro's + an OBH11 amp

(had a pair of 7509's before that.. and still do)

Got a cheap Philips HP170.

Also ordered a Alessandro MS1 but it looks like it's taking weeks or even months for it to ship here instead of 2-3 days as stated in their website.

 

[bootman]

SR-225

 

[williamgoody]

Ety 4P's, and shortly therafter I traded for a pair of Sennheiser HD600's.

I've come full circle since.
